  3. Napoleon in America

    Anybody read this? I just finished it and I thought it was great. You can tell that it has been vigorously researched.

  4. AHC: Explain this bumper sticker

    You're driving down the road in a rural area, in that certain part of North America between Mexico and Canada, when a huge pickup truck blows past you. Naked lady truck flaps, truck balls, and this sticker - not an uncommon sight. But why?

  5. SMDH: A discourse assistive proposal

    As World War II dominates Post-1900, so the American Civil War dominates this subforum. But often threads such as "What would life be like in Kansas in a victorious Confederacy TL?", or "When Would the Confederacy Ban Slavery, 1866 or 1867?", or "Would the Disney Channel be better in a...

    SPOILER ALERT Well, it looks like the BBC's accidentally leaked screener copy of the Doctor Who 50th has revealed the truth to a rumor I'd never have believed - the special will contain the first ever live action appearance of the cartoon Doctor! (Or "Doc", as Jessica would say). The...

  7. Federal subjects of America

    Inspired by the interesting make-up of the federal subjects of Russia. Often unrecognized today because it's been going on so long, letting US territories (by and large) enter the nation as full and equal states was a stroke of genius which helped alleviate some of the dissatisfaction and...

  12. AHC: More regional American flags

    Brought to you by this post: It's true! New England has a Flag, the South has a flag, even the West Coast has a stupid flag no one uses (two colors of green abutting each other, you're dead to me, cascadia). But what about those other regions of America, those regions that lack their own flags...

  14. Acting President

    As said in the Tyler thread, But is there none? Let's imagine that Tyler is a different man, or is simply replaced on the ticket by some sadsack backbencher who happened to kill a lot of Indians one time. Either way, he accepts that he's just the "Acting President," and that becomes the...

    I looked around and didn't see there had been a thread about this yet, so here we are. Templar, Arizon is a is a webcomic set in an alternate timeline.
